- Communicating with young people online - from promoting youth services and positive activities, through to hosting two-way dialogues with young people in online spaces.
- Social networks & youth participation - how can Facebook, Bebo, MySpace and Ning be part of the participation workers toolbox? And how does social networking have the power to change the face of participation?
- Digital inclusion for young people - making sure that all young people have the access to technology and the skills they need to get on in the digital age;
- Practical action - how to make sure online engagement is based on safe-and-sound foundations; getting policies in place; and making sure the technology and staff skills are available to make the most of online engagement;
- Hands-on learning - exploring different social media tools that you can use in your work, and sharing tips with other participants about the best way to use them; "

My effort at a flash based Learning Event Generator
THE MOG BLOG continues...
This is my effort at a Learning Event Generator that I was talking about in Finland
The original idea and inspiration is from John Davitt all I've done is added some sound effects and an initial input box to type in your own task.
(No, you don't have to do the 'why is mog soo cool' task!)
I do love the LEG and it's a great way to get people instantly involved and being creative
TRY IT OUT!!!!
